A Dynamic Approach In Production Management for Automotive Field

Abstract

Solution proposals, based on dynamic approaches, can easily take place of the existing situations owing to the unlimited customer requests. Therefore, this may lead to a rapid transformation, triggering the manufacturing society to deal with the requirements for a sustainable competitive advantage. Especially, the automotive field, deeply affected by the fast-changing demands, brings about some new business models superimposing the existing ones because of the technology-intensive production management. This progress makes the world’s expectation be higher depending on process innovation and minimizing the lead time may be declared as one of the top satisfaction points in the market. This paper, including the review of different manufacturing methods, highlights the awareness of the best implementations along with the production management in the automotive field. Moreover, it aims to develop a process innovation by designing a dynamic algorithm. The content of the paper, depending on multiple machines with multiple orders, is completed in all details by analyzing the gaps of the literature review. In the second step, the original algorithm is formed by taking into consideration the priorities. The achieved analysis is based on the main criteria and subcomponents of the scheduling of the manufacturing process. Finally, the algorithm, formed by four main priorities, leads the numerical implementations to be done in only one order and the results show that this approach can be a good way for minimization of total delays of orders.
